Try like This:-

 var Excel;
        Excel = new ActiveXObject("Excel.Application"); 
        Excel.Visible = false;
        var a = Excel.Workbooks.Open("C:/Documents and Settings/Desktop/word/TEST.xls").ActiveSheet.Cells(1,1).Value;
         if(!a)
        document.getElementById('dateValid').innerText= "Date not Valid";

        Excel.Quit();
